I agree with everything up to the "nothing to do with being stingy." Not that they go hand-in-hand, but stinginess *can* beget theft.
e.g., A person named Lag T. -- no, L. Tastic -- is going on a date with his boyfriend to the movies. He knows the date loves sno-caps, but he refuses to pay for them, because they cost too much. This is stingy. Maybe only mildly so, since those prices are gouged (and maybe I'm stingy for thinking so
), but it's stingy (def: refusing to spend).
So he decides to go to the grocery store or CVS to buy some sno-caps before hand. But the cashier tells him that his $0.25 off coupon expired last month, so after flexing to reassert dominance, he tells her he's not going to buy the sno-caps unless she takes the coupon. She says no, so he refuses to buy them (stingy). He goes to put them back. But then, since he's also a kleptomaniac, he decides to slip them into his
man-purse satchel, making him a dirty, filthy, scumbag thief.
I think LT is not debating that he's a scumbag. He's just saying he's stingy also, which is true.

However, you are not stingy. You are the downfall of society. Society would be better off without people like you.
Agree with all except I also think he is stingy.
